Roger Mpanano Ntamwenge (21 October 1962 – 19 June 2021[1]) was a Congolese politician, founding member of the Union for the Congolese Nation[2] and former Member of the National Assembly of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[3][4]
During his tenure, the MP Roger Mpanano strongly advocated the rejection of the transfer of water from the Ubangi River to Lake Chad,[5] a project he deemed harmful to the DRC especially on the environmental point of view.[6]
He did his secondary studies first at Mugeri Minor Seminary, then at Alfajiri College. He pursued higher studies at the Higher Institute for Rural Development (ISDR) where he later served as a Lecturer for a number of years.
